Hi, I’m Slater, and if I didn’t love my job I would not get up at 4:30 every morning (believe me)! I try my hardest to keep you informed and entertained from 6-10 Monday through Friday on Live 95.9! Fun facts: I regularly check my pulse. I love buying new shoes. I host trivia nights for Bob Heck Entertainment. I sleep with the fan on medium. I love The Beatles. I’m built like a coat rack. I have gray hair and a red beard. My favorite movie is “The Blues Brothers.” I love sushi. I love steak. I’m really good at fastpitch wiffle ball.

Can You Be Sued In Massachusetts For Performing CPR Incorrectly?
Two things everyone should probably know, unless your a toddler, is the Heimlich maneuver and CPR. My interest in becoming a volunteer firefighter some years ago taught me both of these things. I'm glad I did.
For the purpose of this post, I am talking about the general public, not someone who is in some way in the first responder field, whether it be professionally or volunteer...

If You Hit A Deer In Massachusetts, Can You Take It Home?
You've got to be on the lookout for wildlife, right? Like, all of the time. My buddy almost died in a car crash after striking a deer on the mass pike about twenty years ago. It was dark out, however, it forever changed him.
The state has done a nice job of posting warnings of certain animals who frequently cross heavily traveled roadways...
Is It Illegal To Carry Pepper Spray In Massachusetts?
I remember my father always encouraging us as kids to take karate or self-defense classes. I think I took karate for a year when I was 14 and that was the end of it. 😂

Can You Get Arrested For Speeding In Massachusetts?
I was pulled over for speeding last week on the Mass Pike. Embarrassingly, I was caught on LiDAR traveling 85 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. Although I was traveling down hill, I absolutely admitted fault and was lucky enough to get a warning.
I haven't been pulled over in more than a decade, so I was super grateful to the trooper who handed me a warning...
Yes, Throwing These Items Away Is Illegal In Massachusetts
There are two types of people in the world. There's the folks who really have trouble parting with things and there's the folks who love to throw things away. I'm absolutely the latter. I really enjoy minimalism, although I'm not a purist. 😁
I had some old carpet that was cut up into pieces that I needed to dispose of for my mother, and I was wondering about that. In bul...
Ed Sheeran To Play Boston’s Wang Theatre
I remember hearing Ed Sheeran's "The A Team" for the first time circa 2011. I will be honest, I thought it was a good song, but I don't think anyone thought that he would become the international superstar he is today.
Ed Sheeran plays stadiums...
This Little Massachusetts Town Is Home To Only Scores Of People!
The population of Massachusetts is just shy of 7 million people. I grew up in one of Boston's north shore cities, Lynn, which has a population of about 100,000. To add to the population density, its surrounding cities are jam packed for the most part as well...
